Amazon's smart speaker range has grown over the years with the Echo (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations), the Echo Plus, and Echo Dot – and don't forget the the Echo Show and the smaller Echo Spot, both of which feature a screen.

You can buy the Echo Sub on its own or get it as a part of the Echo Stereo System bundle which saves you £60 and includes two Echo (2nd generation) devices. You can also opt to get the Sub with two Echo Plus devices, which saves you £100.

Finally, and somewhat different to Amazon's speaker devices, is the £34.99 Echo Input that allows you to add Alexa functionality to any external speaker via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm audio cable.

Finding a good deal on the Echo is not extremely straightforward. Amazon does have sales on its devices every few months or so, and during major events like Prime Day and Black Friday, but you would have to closely follow the site to snag them on time.

Elsewhere, large retailers like Currys PC World or Argos often match Amazon prices when Echo devices go on sale – so you're unlikely to find prices that go any lower than Amazon's. That does not mean, however, retailers won't find other ways to be competitive through bundle offers – which works for us deal hunters.
